Training, Learning and Development

What I had learnt from topic Learning, Training and Development is that training is not only to generate skills and knowledge, but also to develop employees for future promotions. Training is very important to motivate employees and it shows that the organization is concern about the development of their employees. The cost to conduct training is very expensive, thus organization must come up with other method which is more cost-effective to deliver training to their employees.

There several matters that need to be consider by employer if they decided to use online training which are the resources, how the training should be carried out, who will facilitate the system and the period which the training should occur. If they abandon these requirements, they will not be able to conduct an effective online training to their employees.

The use of online training must also be presented in a user-friendly manner, meaningful, appropriate and the system also must able to support the organization’s strategy. This will help employees to understand how to access the system as well as supporting organization’s strategies.

There are several issue that I had understand regarding this topic which is the system must be align with HR strategies. This is to avoid any double-standard which can bring problems to the organization. Organization also must create a culture that can level-up the use of information system. This is to ensure that employees able to access the system well.  The third issue is that organization must make sure that they have the budget to run the system and also it is compatible with legal action. If organization have limited sources, it is better for them to not to apply the system yet until they afford to. The system also must comply with the guidelines and terms that been set up by the authority.
